I don't know what your mount system looks like, but I'm assuming that
within your char_data struct there is a pointer to the mounted mob. The
easiest way to achieve your goal is to just put a check in your "mounted
only" skills sorta like this:
if (!GET_MOUNT(ch)) {
send_to_char("You can only use this skill when mounted.\r\n", ch);
return;
}
Of course you'll want to change GET_MOUNT to whatever your macro or var
is. Much easier than playing around with positions or states.
